3 Mandos and a Baby AU: The Aq Vetina Crisis Part 3

The second day of negotiations gets off to a brilliant start when someone in beskar’gam attempts to assassinate Senator Vald. 

Both the Jinata-Meerian delegation and the Mandalorian delegation go into lockdown. The Jinata reps are demanding the Mandos answer for this blatant attack by one of their own. The Mandalorians are trying to figure out if this was actually was one of their own. It’s chaos, and it’s up to the Republic team to make sense of that chaos.

Bail and Obi-Wan decide to take things on from the Jinata side, since Bail as a Core World Viceroy and Obi-Wan as the senior Jedi might make them feel this issue is being handled to their satisfaction. Padme, Anakin, and Ahsoka head off to the Mandalorians to figure things out from their end.

All Bail and Obi-Wan can determine from the security holos is the perpetrator was wearing Mandalorian armor painted in Death Watch colors, and that they’re obviously not practiced in using WESTARs or jetpacks. Obi-Wan pulls Bail to the side and shares his suspicion that the would-be assassin isn’t Mandalorian at all.

Meanwhile in the Mandalorian delegation’s apartments it’s a mess of data feeds, holocomms, and other nonsense as they try to figure out who this was. Anakin asks why they don’t just create a database of beskar’gam designs and is told Mandos change up their armor designs and paint so often it would wind up being fifty percent obsolete within a month.

Ursa points out how obviously uncomfortable with the WESTARs and the jetpack the dumbass is, and says they’re obviously not actual former Death Watch. Pre used to beat anyone who fell behind in either arms or jetpack training, like his father and brother before him did. Bo-Katan nods to confirm this and everyone else is just horrified because Pre keeps proving to be an even bigger asshole the more they hear about him.

Then Adonai’s ghost points something out to Korkie. The assassin is wearing outward facing thigh pieces as front facing pieces, and their chest plate is slightly loose. They’re not Mando’ade, just someone who got their hands on beskar trying to frame the Mandalorians.

Now the Mandos are pissed, because beskar is sacred. An aruetii wore their sacred manifestation of a Mandalorian’s soul in an attempt to frame them. And they did it badly.

They’re interrupted from their raging by a call from a very worried PR Minister Harik, who was enjoying some leave time in Coruscant’s Little Keldabe district. He warns them that someone leaked the holovid of the fake-mando assassin, and the Chancellor responded by locking down Little Keldabe. He’s only able to get a message out to them because the Corrie Guard feel they owe the Mandalorian government for all the brothers they’ve smuggled to freedom.

Things go from bad to worse when a couple of squads of assassins in Mandalorian armor attack both delegations at once. The Jinata-Meerian team manages to stay together and make it to the panic room but the Mandalorians get split up.

Anakin and Padme wind up with Duchess Satine, Senator Batin, Administrator Kadjn and Journeyman Halax, pinned down within a conference hall at the hotel. The fake mandos also brought a bunch of droids and Duchess Satine is working through some pent up aggression on those while the rest focus on the organic enemies.

Bo-Katan, Alrich, and Ursa are trying to get to the others and also keep little Din safe. Poor kid saw a droid and hasn’t stopped crying, which is alerting their enemies to their position. Further complicating things is their communications are jammed, meaning they only have guesses of where the others may be.

Ahsoka winds up with Korkie and the Cadet Squad in the tunnels running under the city. They all fight back to back and act all badass and stuff. Amis teaches her what Kandosii means after a particularly artful droid murder. As they fight their way through Ahsoka’s definitely hearing voices now, and they’re kinda helping her. They tell her when to duck left or right or when not to round a corner.

Eventually everyone manages to fight their way to the conference room and together they repel the attackers. They manage to take two of them alive and give them to Bo-Katan and Anakin to interrogate. When Padme asks why Lady Bo-Katan and not Lady Ursa or the Mand’alor himself, Korkie responds with “they made her kid cry” and honestly, valid (Padme only asked this because Bo-Katan’s the senior most military commander there and maybe she’d have other concerns like fortifying their position. Nah, Ursa’s got it covered).

The Jinata-Meerian delegation are watching this whole thing through the panic room security screens, which have audio for plot reasons. They watch as the helmets are removed from the two assassins still alive and Bo-Katan questions them. They don’t know anything, they’re just low level pirate grunts! They were given the armor by the higherups who got it from the guy who hired them. Honest!

Anyway, things resolve kinda peacefully after that. The whole experience has soured the Jinata government on keeping Aq Vetina, the place seems like too much work and too Mando now. And Mandos are crazy. They want payment in the shape of several million credits over a few years and priority on certain trade goods, but they’re still willing to sign. The Meerian government is satisfied with giving away Vanquo for a similar deal.

The Republic mediation team sends their report on what happened with a strong recommendation to end the lockdown in Little Keldabe. The Mandalorian government sends a strongly worded message as well.

Everything ends up good, the Mandalorians grow extra resentful of the Republic, and Ahsoka gets four new friends’ commcodes. Anakin makes his report to Palpatine, who sees this information as a special kind of useless and is also busy fuming about his failed attempt to get several annoyances killed at once.

My Favorite Place

Thomas: This is my favorite place in the whole world. Alex: I'll give you it's beautiful, but really? This bench? Is your favorite place in the whole world? You've been to so many incredible places. We've been to so many incredible places! Thomas: *smiling at Alex's playful questioning* Not the bench. Alex: The park? Thomas: Any place you are. *hands Alex a flower* Any place we all are. *gazes at the twins and Bogart running around the park.* Alex: *speechless, accepts flower, laces her fingers with his and rests her head on his shoulder, watching their beautiful family*

Happiest of Birthdays to (me and) my beloved Alex Hunt!

I love her so much. She helped bring me into this fandom and helped me get back into writing and creating fanworks for the first time in a really long time. Alex and Thomas helped save me from a really, really dark place that I don't know I would have gotten out of without them and this fandom.

I can't thank the always lovely @weetlebeetle enough for another Cheeb art of these two love birds! I can't stop smiling every time I see them, especially in this style! They're just so precious!

I chose the red polka dot dress from HollywoodU because I miss it and these two will always be my forever OTP!
